Who can see who we've shared a file with?

We are sharing files with multiple clients. We do not want Client A to see that we've shared the file with Client B. 

Please confirm that those with view access cannot see who else is shared on a file.

Hi Andrew, 

Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

If you shared these contents to your clients by inviting them as collaborators, you actually have the option to hide their names using the "hide collaborators" feature.

With this enabled, collaborators with "Editor" access and below will not be able to see the names of the other collaborators in the folder (Co-Owners will be able to see all collaborators in the folder). When hidden, the word "Someone" will replace their name whenever necessary to maintain anonymity.

For more details about this feature, please take a look at this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196273-Managing-Collaborators#hidecollab

Thanks for reaching out and let me know if you have any questions!

Regards,
